Abstract
We report the case of a 41-year-old woman, non-smoker, without cardiovascular risk, hospitalised for acute ST elevation myocardial infarction. The coronarography showed no significant coronary stenosis and a methylergometrine test performed was positive. After the discovery of a moderate chronic hypereosinophilia, a review of the literature about eosinophile and coronary pathology was realised in order to make a link between hypereosinophilia and coronary spasm.
